[ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GERONIMO-2307?page=all ]
Matt Hogstrom updated GERONIMO-2307:
------------------------------------
Description:
Geronimo redistributes the Sun J2EE schema files for deployment descriptors etc
but doesn't appear to include anything in the global license file about it.
The following two statement in the copyright text in the schema files (e.g.
http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee/ejb-jar_2_1.xsd ) concern me:
* This document and the technology which it describes are distributed under
licenses restricting their use, copying, distribution, and decompilation.
* No part of this document may be reproduced in any form by any means without
prior written authorization of Sun and its licensors, if any.
Considering the first point, we need to determine what license the files are
under. Seems we need written authorization for the second point.
The concern regarding copyrights for the schemas came to mind whilst testing
the geronimo eclipse plugin, eclipse prompted me to acknowledge the Sun license
at http://developers.sun.com/license/berkeley_license.html when caching the
j2ee schema files (e.g. http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee/ejb-jar_2_1.xsd ).
I can't find anything to confirm that the berkeley license displayed by eclipse
is the correct license for the schemas.
The following is a checklist to help track what has been done, in case someone
wants to help out :-)
